Unit 2 Concept 2 Flashcards
Passive transport
No ATP
High to low concentration
(Down concentration)
Active transport
ATP
Low to high concentration
Concentration
Amount of solute dissolved in a solvent
Concentration gradient
Difference in concentration of a substance from one location to the other
Simple diffusion
Spreading out of molecules till equilibrium is reached
O2 CO2
Facilitated diffusion
Movement with the help of a transport protein
Large molecules like glucose
And polar molecules
Osmosis
Simple diffusion of water molecules
High to low
High water concentration means
Low water concentration
Low water concentration
High water concentration
Hypertonic solutions
Water is lower than the cells cytoplasm
Shrivels
Hypotonic
Water is higher than the cells cytoplasm
Swells
Isotonic
Identical water and cytoplasm
Positive feedback mechanisms
Output intensifies the response
Ex.human birth-fruit ripening
Negativel
Output causes a counter response to return to a set point
Ex. Human temp- blood sugar
Stimulus
Change in the environment
